Sunak’s voiceover in the background says, “Put simply, global issues matter, we simply can’t do alone. Countries have to work together, we saw this during Covid and it’s right that we come together to fight climate change and Putin’s illegal war.”
“The G20 and summits like it provide a unique opportunity to talk face to face with the leaders of other countries and address those issues and the decisions we make there will deliver the jobs, growth and security that British people expect of their PM. So I am looking forward to a productive few days,” the UK Prime Minister adds.
Following his arrival, Sunak yesterday said his visit to Delhi is “obviously special”. “It’s obviously special. I saw somewhere that I was referred to as India’s son-in-law, which I hope was meant affectionately,” he told reporters travelling with him.
